Everybody in.

GEORGE SKENE/ORLANDO SENTINEL

Think of each of these children jumping into Orlando's Little Lake Conway as representing about 2.6 million Floridians. The boy in the water is the state's population in 1950. The boy in the air is growth by the early 1960s. The next 3 boys waiting on the dock represent population increases by the early 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, respectively. Finally, the little girl's plunge will signal the arrival of 2000. The level of the lake, meanwhile, is 2.8 feet below normal.
